Do Whole-House Air Purifiers Work & Are They Worth Investing In?
There’s no place like home, but if the air quality in your whole house is polluted with airborne contaminants like viruses, bacteria, mold, smoke, allergens, and more, then it’s time to look at solutions. The best way to address residential indoor air pollution is to control or eliminate the source of the pollutants and provide the home with clean air through air purification.
The US Environmental Protection Agency named indoor air quality as one of the top 5 health threats in the U.S., due to spending 90% of our time indoors. From larger homes and apartments to dorm rooms and vacation properties, HEPA air purifiers work 24/7 to provide clean indoor air throughout your living space. Air purifiers are effective against even the smallest particles in the air, which can trigger asthma attacks or make it hard to breathe. It is even more important nowadays with homes being so tightly sealed for energy efficiency, amplifying the concentration of contaminants and also with more and more people working from home.
How Do Whole-House Air Purifiers Work?
ISO-Aire™ whole-home air purifiers are engineered with medical-grade HEPA filtration and ozone-free bipolar ionization to capture and destroy 99.99% of microscopic pathogens and indoor air pollutants, including VOCs. Air purifiers use a fan to draw polluted air in, then use one or more filters to remove airborne contaminants from circulation, blowing clean air back out into the space. ISO-Aire whole-home air purifiers do not intervene with, or complicate, the existing furnace or forced air system that a home already has, but instead, independently provides clean air throughout the house. ISO-Aire™ portable HEPA filtration systems are an easy way for residents with or without ventilation to implement HEPA clean air technology into their space. These portable models simply plug into a regular outlet and require no installation.
Developed to address viruses, bacteria, allergens, mold, VOCs and other airborne contaminants, ISO-Aire™ home HEPA air purifiers use proven medical-grade technology in a high-performance, quiet, and easy-to-install air purification system. Inside ISO-Aire™ whole-house HEPA air purifiers, we’ve engineered three layers of unmatched air purification protection: HEPA filtration (99.99%) paired with optional bipolar ionization and/or UVC sterilization depending on your needs.
How Effective Are Whole-House Air Purifiers?
All air purifiers should remove some airborne irritants and allergens, but HEPA purifiers can remove a minimum of 99.7% (and at ISO-Aire, our HEPA filters are 99.99% efficient) of all particles, even those that are extremely small like viruses. These purifiers are so effective, that residences, schools, commercial facilities and daycares are now introducing the units at their facilities to improve air quality.
Are Whole-House Air Purifiers Worth It?
The change in seasons can be difficult for millions of individuals who suffer from asthma and allergies. For approximately 1 in 13 Americans warmer weather can mean itchy, watery eyes and springtime breezes may inflict fits of sneezes. During the spring, the air fills with asthma triggers such as pollen, dust, smoke, and mold. Whole-home air purification systems help to improve the air quality by removing these contaminants, and in turn, alleviate allergy symptoms.
Our products provide the maximum level of protection, utilize long-life commercial-grade fans, and high-capacity HEPA filters that last 5 to 6 years (not months like competitor models), and are non-disruptive with best-in-class noise levels. With over 55 years of experience, we have carefully chosen the technology and design of the ISO-Aire system to ensure an effective and safe solution.
